I think I have an anger management and impatience issue! Don’t get me wrong – I do a lot of soul-searching and
self-development work! I meditate, I do yoga (as you can see in the photo
attached), I chant (ah! you should listen to my meowing repertoire) and, still,
at times, I feel like smacking someone, especially my humans when they don’t
understand or pretend do not understand and are slow reacting to my demands!
They say I’m high maintenance! Of course I am – I’m royalty after all, right?
But, if I snap it won’t be pretty! So, George, do you think it’s me? What do I
do?
Impatiently yours,
CAT Victoria
Dear Victora,
You are not alone. Dealing with humans on a daily basis can be absolutely maddening. It's been argued that humans can think but, apart from "higher" order thoughts such as Freudian analysis, Brexit and the God particle, it seems to me that they are just dumb animals. They lack both wisdom and understanding.
Be patient. I know you can be, because all cats are patient enough to sit at a mouse hole waiting for a mouse to poke its nose out. Apply this patience and your own purrsistence to your relationship with humans. They may have poor purrception but they can be trained. Do not give up.
Yoga for cats works. It is true that we do have a little difficulty with one of the five guidelines for a harmonious life – asteya, non-stealing, but we are truly skilled in brahmacharya, the wise use of energy.
Yours
George.
PS. My nephew George is working on a book that will help cats in their dealings with humans. It will be published in the UK this September.

Hmm! If you do yoga, meditation, chanting and are still ready to smack & snap....maybe you do the wrong asana! Try breathing exercises! That's what my mummy does but the way she does it makes me meowing out loud! Too silly :-)

George, will the book be available in Europe too or just UK for now?

Yes, humans are a lot of work! If I'm infuriated by any of them...I just go to my hidden spot and sleep!
